Tending the Temple Daily

 Oh how I grieve over the teaching of a lawless Messiah.  Every Sunday, from a multitude of pulpits, a lawless faith and a lawless Savior are proclaimed.  Dear Seeker, this is a huge deception. Yahusha/Jesus lived out the law/Torah fully, completely, unto death. In His obedience He eliminated the death penalty of the law for all who place their faith in Him, covering those in grace, and He was given resurrection power. Death is eternal separation from Yah. Yahusha/Jesus redeemed us from suffering that separation.  He never taught His followers to disregard the law/Torah. He desires obedience.   Matthew 5:17-30, John 14:15 Yahusha/Jesus taught a deeper level of the law/Torah, filling it full, giving a fuller understanding of the law, not discarding it.   Yahusha/Jesus is the Word of Yah, came from Yah, existed from the beginning, and was intimately engaged in the creation of all things. The Word of Yah and the Torah of Yah are one. The same. Yahush...

 Over the past 25+ years of pursuing Torah obedience in my faith walk with Yahusha, I have seen others come into the walk.  One thing many of us do, upon learning the traditions we have observed in the past were in error, is to fall into a whole other group of traditions.  Sometimes it takes a while to realize that the second set of traditions we have embraced are just as erroneous as the first.  I see it as a road with ditches on either side. The road is the true path, and the ditches are Christian traditions on one side and Jewish traditions on the other. The goal is to stay on the road, not veering to the left or the right.   This time of year lots of churches invite Messianic Jews to share a Passover seder meal with their congregants. This is intended to be educational.  But if you were to go to Exodus 12 and read the actual instructions for the Passover meal, you'd see it's a simple meal consisting of lamb, bitter herbs, unleavened bread, shoes on...

  Genesis  3:15, 12:2-4, 15:6, 26:4-5 Hebrews 11:8-10, 11:17-19 Galatians 3:5-9, 3:26-29 Romans 11:17-24 Our father Abraham was born into a corrupt generation. He was given the name Abram at birth, and later Yah changed his name due to Abram's faith. Nimrod was king over the land, and Abram's father served Nimrod by making idols. The fact that Abraham knew Yah at all seems like a miracle. Yet Abraham is credited as the Father of our faith. Faith...what is faith? The Cambridge Dictionary says faith is great trust or confidence in something or someone.  Abraham is a descendant of Noah, thru Shem. We learn thru the canonized scriptures and extra biblical books that the Melchizedek priesthood passed from Adam on down thru generations to Noah, then Shem's family line. Jubilees and Jasher tell of young Abram being instructed in the Ways of Yah, by Shem and Eber (Shem's son) Jasher 9, Jubilees 11-23 . Abraham was fully aware of the original promise Yah made to Adam and Eve, th...

  I really have to use my faith filter when I'm trying to discern thru the news feed what is true and what are sanitized stories the governmental powers want me to believe.  And dear friends, if we only see US MSM, then for sure we get only part of the story. And I would argue, a very sanitized version.  As a person who was raised to have great national pride, the sanitized news can be comfortable.  On social media I watch as my "friends" repost and proclaim the sanitized news as gospel truth. As if our government wouldn't hide anything from us. Surely the past 20 years would beg the differ. I beseech you to seek news from all over the world to get a well rounded sense of what's going on.  Having said that,  it's not easy to access international news. There are safe guards in place to discourage that.  But there are websites available that provide access to international news for a price.  I'm providing a link to an independent news program that g...

  The entire Middle East is currently engulfed in war. All my life, it's been one Middle East war after another. It has always grieved my heart to consider the families who just want to raise their children in peace. Most of the victims of any war are the innocent citizens who happen to live in the war zone. We normally get an accounting of the military personnel who have perished, but not really the citizenry. Did these families choose this? Doubtful, for sure.  Those of us who watch the news for end times prophecy events, ask ourselves each time: is this the one that ushers in the prophecies? Is this the Oholah/ Ohoibah event? Ezekiel 23 From my perspective it doesn't appear the leadership in Israel consider this scenario playing out at all. They fully expect to come out the victor. But what if they're wrong? Will Christians all over the earth loose faith? Most of them don't expect the Oholibah scenario either.  Has Jerusalem been leveled before? Has this prophecy bee...
